6 BR, 4.5 bath beach house. Private beach on the South Shore of Nantucket (Madequecham Valley) provides maximum privacy in an area of few houses, surrounded by open and protected land, reached by dirt road. Right on the beach. Large deck less than 200 feet from the bluff. You can watch the ocean from the house. Gorgeous sunsets every night.
6 Queen bedrooms, 4.5 bath.
PS VRBO's map is wrong. VRBO map seems to indicate we are a mile from the beach, and says it's a 7 minute drive, but that's incorrect. We think VRBO is incorrectly pegging "beach" to the public beach nearby.
The spacious, light-filled, open floor plan hosts a modern kitchen, LR, and DR with fantastic views of the ocean. The DR opens to a very large, open deck overlooking the ocean, with two outdoor dining areas and sitting areas. 2025 Renovation. New lower level has high ceilings and lots of natural light from windows and a sliding glass double door, with large LR area and satellite TV.
Primary BR suite on 2nd floor has a private bathroom and office area, plus two private decks offering sweeping views of the ocean, moors, sunrise, and sunset. All 6 bedrooms have Queen beds with new, organic mattresses, new duvet covers. One BR has private doors to deck overlooking the ocean.
DR has new farmhouse dining room table and chairs. LR has newly upholstered furniture (please be careful not to spill on it, as we love the new patterns and they're hard to replace). LR and downstairs den have Satellite TV. Kitchen has a new (June 2022) refrigerator and washer-dryer; new (Aug. 2020) gas range, new tools, new cutting boards, new dinnerware, new flatware, new steak knives, new glasses, etc. Outdoor shower. New Weber charcoal grill (September 2025). Linens, beach towels provided.
Tenants may use owner's beach umbrellas, deck umbrella, boogie boards, and paddleboards, if careful.
Full unobstructed sky allows incredible nighttime star-gazing!
If you want peace, privacy, a gorgeous beach, and a natural setting, this is ideal. If you are hoping to be walking distance to shopping, then you might prefer to rent in town. If you aren't familiar with Nantucket, please realize that Nantucket is a rural community. For example, half of Nantucket roads are dirt roads (including ours) and they can be bumpy.

About the host
Hosted by Carrie Wofford
We love Nantucket. We've been here for 50 years. We love the peace and tranquility of our area. It's undeveloped, and surrounded by Conservation Land and protected land. Very few houses along the bluff. All lovely people.
Why they chose this property
This is one of the prettiest beaches in the world, and it's incredible to have a huge private beach to ourselves. Gorgeous sunsets. Great fishing, swimming, surfing, and paddleboarding. Some days the waves are calm for paddleboarding, and sometimes they're big and great for surfing.
